US President Donald Trump said the United States is producing advanced weapons at unprecedented levels, while claiming oil continues to flow through the Strait of Hormuz amid the conflict with Iran.
Trump said the weapons are being delivered daily to US forces in the Middle East and other regions.
Trump said US production is focused on Patriot, THAAD and Tomahawk systems, along with other missile systems, adding that Washington already has large stockpiles of the weapons.
“We are producing advanced weapons at levels never seen before,” Trump said.
He also said oil continues to move through the Strait of Hormuz, arguing that other countries have not provided sufficient assistance to the United States.
Trump said countries benefiting from the continued flow of oil through the strategic waterway should compensate Washington, adding that he expects them to do so once the conflict ends.
Trump also predicted that oil prices would fall sharply once the military conflict with Iran comes to an end.
“The price of oil will drop dramatically once the military conflict with Iran ends,” he said, adding that the conflict “will not take long” to conclude.
